Otiorhynchus (Melasemnus) bisphaericus Reiche & Saulcy, 1858 View in CoL

Material examined. Lavrakás, m 5, 3/ 7.X.2014 (9).

Distribution. Greece and Turkey ( Magnano & Alonso-Zarazaga 2013). Recorded from Crete ( Bahr et al. 2011).

Collecting circumstances. Under Atriplex .

Notes. This is considered a single variable species, distributed from central Greece to Turkey ( Magnano & Alonso-Zarazaga 2013). Judging by the material at hand from some regions of Greece, probably more accurate study in the future will reveal the presence of a number of distinct taxa today included under this name.
